Reglan&reg

Produced by Schwarz Pharma, Reglan® is an oral tablet prescribed in the treatment of:

the heartburn associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (also known as GERD), a condition resulting from the backup of stomach acid into the esophagus

diabetic gastric stasis (also known as diabetic gastropareis), a condition marked by nausea, vomiting, heartburn and loss of appetite due to a delay in the emptying of the stomach's contents.

Reglan® is generically known as metoclopramide and may also be sold under the following brand names:

Degan, made by Lek

Maxeran, made by Sanofi Aventis

Maxolon, made by Shire/Valeant

Primperan, made by Sanofi Aventis

Pylomid, made by Bosnalijek.

Reglan® Dose

To minimize the possibility of side effects, it's crucial that Reglan® is:

only taken as directed

not taken for longer than 12 weeks

is taken with a full glass of water

is taken before meals and at bedtime.

Should Reglan® patients miss a dose of this medication, they should take the missed dose as soon as they remember (Unless it's near the time for the next dose, at which point, they should skip the missed dose and take the next Reglan® dose at the appropriate time).

Alternately, Reglan® overdoses are serious events that will call for emergency medical care to prevent patients from developing further health problems.

Reglan® Side Effects

In most cases, Reglan® patients will only develop minor, if any, side effects after taking this drug. Common, mild Reglan® side effects may include:

breast swelling

changes in menstrual cycles

diarrhea

dizziness

drowsiness

fatigue

headache

increased frequency or urination

insomnia (or other sleeping problems)

nausea

restlessness.

Unfortunately, however, some other rare but serious Reglan® side effects have also been reported. These Reglan® medication side effects can include:

agranulocytosis, a condition characterized by low levels of white blood cells (If left untreated, agranulocytosis can result in osteoporosis and other irreversible conditions.)

aldosteronism, a condition in which the adrenal glands produce excessive hormones and lead to low blood-potassium levels (If left untreated, aldosteronism can be fatal, as it may result in heart attack, heart failure, stroke or kidney failure.)
